And here is a free copy of spybot

It will get rid of any pest that may be on your computer that you don't know about

How do you get rid of it?

I have used spybot in the past, but that has not worked with this.

[Mo1]

Good for them!!

[Conservababe]

No, it will not work with Gator because you have given them permission to get pop-ups. Check what you have downloaded in the past twenty four hours and you might get a clue.

Here is a free older version of Zone Alarm

I've found that what ever pop up doesn't block .. zone alarm does

Yep...gator is there in the history section.

So what do I do? I have run spybot twice.....it's still here.

[Windshark]

Which one should I try? You've linked 3 things, one of which (spybot) I have and is not working with this.

[Mo1]

Yep...gator is there in the history section.

Gator is a pain in the butt to get rid of

[Conservababe]

Guess what...I don't remember how I got rid of it. I had an ugly encounter with this a couple of years ago.

Maybe So9 can help. At least you have probably identified the culprit. But, you have given it permission, see?

[Mo1]

I use all three

And yes I am paranoid .. I do have a pre-pre teen

[Mo1]

I think what I did with the gator thingy was to go look at my zone alarm log and then figured what was getting a lot of hits

Then I had zone alarm block those hits and then had to search out those program and delete them

I also do the searches with spybot and pestpetrol to get other stuff and have them deleted

[Windshark]

I think I have a spy in my computer....probably Gator.

It pops up ads every minute or so.......enough to make me waant to crush the sorry son of a bitch who invented this.....

Any suggestions? I'll check by in the morning, if the wimmin here ever let me go to sleep.

Lodwick's puter consumed an unauthorized gin and tonic.

Wow, I am impressed. I think now that I just deleted the programs I had downloaded lately when I had the problem with Gator. I have a pop-up zapper, but I did not realize it had a log. hmmmmm

I ended up with gator once. I used the Uninstall from the Control Panel, and found the program in the list the pops up. If I remember, I also had to do "find" for files to finally clean them all up.

[Windshark]

He should give it some coffee.

Or at least a bloody Mary.

I have a big lizzard in mine, apparently. If I have to close another ad for Netflix DVD rentals I might lose it big time!

[Mo1]
